With summer coming - these little guys need some special care.

Did you know - dogs don't sweat through their skin and have to breathe air in an out, to regulate their body temperature ?
When it gets really warm, they start panting.

Dogs with short noses and narrow nostrils though - really battle and like in this case - started vomiting sticky phlegm when he got excited and could not participate in any fun and games because he just could not breathe !!

Parts of his soft palate was removed ( almost 2cm ) and his nose was opened and 2 weeks after the surgery, he has already managed a 2km walk and can now play ball with his parents while enjoying "tug of war" with the other dogs.

Always worth it when you see the difference it makes in their lives !!

Behind every animal that leaves our practice, there is a team.
One very special team member though, is our nurse, Sister Nicole !! She is an incredible part of our Eden family and we want to thank her for everything she does 🥰😍🐾

How priviledged are we not, to have specialists that are now available to our practices and your animals !!

Thank you Dr Donald from CSSV specialist vets, that performed 2 TPLO's on Finley and Ellie on Monday.
Both suffered from cruciate ruptures and both babies have really recovered beautifully and have been discharged.

Next week we have Prof Johan Schoeman here performing Cardiac work ups the whole day.

Really wonderful to be able to offer this to your pets ..

None of us want to see one of our babies' eyes "POP" - this was unfortunately what happened to dear Jules. Various things contributed - the hair from her nasal folds was rubbing on the cornea and together with a small superficial ulcer, that she got while playing - this just went from bad to worse from there on.
By the time, she arrived @ Eden vets, her ulcer had "popped" (desmetocoele) and the whole eye had collapsed !!
Normally the eye would be removed at this stage, but the owners agreed to have a conjunctival graft done ( skin flap from next to the eye, that is sutured onto the cornea with magnification that the plugs / seals the hole ) and this is madam 2 weeks post op !!
She can see again, the graft has taken and the eye is looking beautiful 🤓🥰

Big boy Harley has a beautiful story to tell.

In July 2025 he first came to visit - He was severely overweight, had a horrible flaking itching skin with redness between the toes and was shuffling along due to his patella luxation and the pain in his knees. He had only been on repeated Cytopoint injections and this big boy was struggling.

Diagnosis : ATOPY + FOOD allergy + Patella luxation

Harley was changed onto a RAW balance hypoallergenic FISH diet, we worked hard on reducing his weight, the owner was treating his feet with a vinegar bath and he is only occasionally getting a minimal dose of Prednisone or Cytopoint when the environmental allergies flare up. His knees have strengthened with no need for surgery 🥰😄and he is just LOVING life !!!

What do these two babies have in common ?
** LIVER cancer **
Both dear Romeo ( scottie ) and Morgan ( border collie ) had horrible looking cancers in their livers. Both had CT scans done here in George and both were referred for surgery @ Vetscape with Dr Brandon, and BOTH have many stories of recovery, to tell. Well done both of you, well done to mommy and daddy !!! May there be many more cuddles and sloppy kisses to follow 🥰😍
